Forgive me if I'm talking shit, but, honestly, moving the J35XS to11.3 (and now 11.0) was such a weird move that killed the plane, it was perfectly decent at 10.7, if we compare it to the other planes at the same current BR, even in the same nation, the mig-21 bis has all-aspect missiles and WAY more countermeasures.
Agree. This at 11.0 is imo overtiered. Bad gun and rounds, no RWR, 6 pops of flairs, energy retention not existent. I think its 11.0 while it has 6 missiles. if it had only 2 or 4 it would be 10.3
Gaijin doesn't seem to care about countermeasures when it comes to balancing imo. There are many examples that support this too, but the worst one I feel like is the Mirage 2000C. Before they "rebalanced" the countermeasures the S4 and the S5 sharing their br was fine. Nowadays, the S5 has 98 countermeasures, and the S4 has: 34... That's 25 pops, at a br where both AMRAAMS and 9Ms can be seen sometimes.
good to know gaijin had made a special edition for you, I can ensure you that we are not playing the same plane, my 9J never goes through the flares even with max heat signature and guns are so much on the right its more conservative than the feudal system
With this DEFYN video, I’ll finally be able to know if it’s because the plane sucks or I have genuine skill issue with it After watching it, I can diagnose myself with a large amount of skill issue and poor awareness in air rb
@@generalmarkmilleyisbenedic8895 yeah, covid’s nearly half a decade in the past now. As a person from the early Gen Z cohort The phrase “feel old yet?” hits way too close to home now and then some with every passing year in this decade.

Hey man, love your vids. I think if you want to help out your missiles more, use your IRST on the 35. It has exceptionally good IRST (maybe even the best in game) and it can help your fire off your missiles on high gimbal limits. Helps a lot when you’re energy trapped too.
a plane with 12 flares (6 pops), 6 sub-par missiles (aim-9j's), dorito flight model and bad 30mm gun vs mig 23's, f-4s's, etc snail really needs to lower its br
The flares are individual now, and one is enough to spoof a missile. The missiles are very usable and the gun is fine. Skill issue. Just stop flying directly into the furball and vomiting 6 missiles at the first thing you see.
I've been having fun with it. I prefer to drop 2 missiles for the drop tanks and take advantage of the extra loiter time. I'll skirt around the furball at treetop level to start, pick off the people doing the same, then once most of the radar missiles are gone I can climb up and go after the last few enemies. I'm getting 3-4 kills a game like this, much more than the milan or F-5.
thank you, now i fell not regreting to buy this plane at all after the discount, i was hopping to get the J7D on china tech tree, but its not on discount, so i buy this one insted, thank you for this vid
day 231 of telling people to bring the 2 rocket pods (theyre on pylons that dont use missiles) and they can pretty reliably flare side and front aspect IRs so you can reserve ur real flares for important ones
another great, informative video, is there any chance you could cover the kfir canard? after all these BR changes now adays maybe it effected it a lot more than it seems.
It's a struggle for sure. It's very hard to get on peoples six when you can't go high and don't have enough fuel to go on flanks. the gun does not pack enough punch and I often find myself out of ammo and unable to do anything. The J35A is so much much better as a premium despite being less of a plane.
2:02 yk half the time it goes through the flares for me, ot just looks like they flares way too late. Other times, they flare at .7km and you'd think it would go through due to the hotter heat signature but it just quits and flies off somewhere. Don't even get me started on those freak matches where you transition from rear aspect to side aspect when flaring an A10's 9L in something like a Hunter F.58 and it still tracks you
I honestly don't understand the problem people have had with the XS, sure the br has not been the best. However i really don't think it was ever unplayable, i have found it consistently enjoyable to fly
senior defyn, may you please play any of the f16a's. aim7s against the constant arh missiles is a struggle and i feel like every game is just dodging missiles till everyones dead
i flew the draken a little bit around half a year ago and i would usually destroy people in my games, then i played it a few weeks ago and i just got touched by everyone without any way to counter it, not sure how it fairs now but im not gonna play that thing again
Hey, im no expert by any means but i do not really understand why you turned off your afterburner when that mig 23 came in. when i have flown the xs i tbh rarely had any issues with the countermeasures, and espacially a r60m should be very flarable with a large caliber flare in front aspect shouldnt it?
Hi DEFYN. I just bought the F-4EJ ADTW with your partner link. I really love the SKILL ISSUE decal. I feel it a better early version of F-4 to fly in the current BR 11.0. Would you mind making a video showing us how to get the most of it in the current environment?
First time i ever disagree with a video lol. I have more than a 3/1 KD in the J35XD (top tier comedy I know). Grinded out the whole tech tree without complaint, it just needs a very aware playstyle, if you manage that you are quite OP most of the time.
Then what do you disagree with? It's a decent plane it just doesn't have any staying power and you have to manage your options because they are a bit more limited due to the kit.
I still believe this plane should be 10.7, no RWR really hurts your ability to climb and dive on people if you have no idea if you’re being hard locked by something.
You can certainly get kills with it but its just lacking in nearly every aspect. When the only upside is being able to lose speed fast ... yeah kinda rough. Feels like playing a full uptier every match. Having to deal will full F4S and MiG23 teams is also not great. It works, it shits SL and RP like a mad cow on laxatives. But the third party gets third partied gets third partied meta makes a fast grind feel like a slow one. Meh
man you should make video for f4E. Its just like the times when it was toptier fighting against mig21bis. I get 3-4 kills every damn game. its fckn diAbOLiCaL
Already lost NNN with this video, the thumbnail guzzles my energy

How about u get some bitches instead of jerking it to a plane
No notching november

It's absurd that the MiG-21bis is the same br as this, feels so much better to fly once you've had a battle in the XS

@@Sten05 shame that poor defyn is so clueless he plays without chaff too.
the way you went from 1020 km/h to 510 Km/h just turning to the Mig-23 is insane
11:40 i literally watched the guide on how to flare irccms like right before the match, i felt stupid af for throwing like that sorry 💀
good to know gaijin had made a special edition for you, I can ensure you that we are not playing the same plane, my 9J never goes through the flares even with max heat signature and guns are so much on the right its more conservative than the feudal system
Jaguar IS seems playable now too
Edit: 216 large chaff with the chaff pod and 60 flares, worth a try.
I love how this is 11.0 and all the F-4s are too but F-104S is still 11.3 for some ungodly reason
And the SU22.
With this DEFYN video, I’ll finally be able to know if it’s because the plane sucks or I have genuine skill issue with it
After watching it, I can diagnose myself with a large amount of skill issue and poor awareness in air rb
J35XS my beloved
It was much better in its 10.7 matchmaker with the premium black hole below it. When they redid the top tier air BRs it screwed the 35XS
honestly, i love the 35XS, its IRST can slave the RB24J on target which really helps
Same, Ive never had an issue with the XS no matter the BR or what it faces
They just announced another rank 7 premium for the Swedish tree in the dev server...
Hmm, I wonder why this thing got nerfed to the ground.
honestly perfect timing i was just thinking about doing my gripen grind again=
I hated playing it recently to be honest.
To be fair, this plane ruled the game for quite some time. Having Flares, and two more missiles to be only 0.3 Br higher than the 35d was criminal
Best time to fly this plane was 2020( release) to early 2022.
After that the Draken pretty much became a liability to its team.

I do it, it works out a good amout if times.
F-4Es can now easily flare aim-9Ps without throttling down, they got some large calibre flares some time ago.
This needs to go back too 10.7 it was perfect there
another great, informative video, is there any chance you could cover the kfir canard? after all these BR changes now adays maybe it effected it a lot more than it seems.
as a person who has played this thing more then should have i can say. if u master it u are the best dogfighter in the game.
Don’t act like no one noticed that double kill at the start 😞
With this thing i have mastered the art of 1 flaring the aim 9m
you reminded me of the premium horde. its time for me to hop in my tomcat and farm them.
2:40 I'm a MiG-23ML enjoyer and after dozens and dozens of high-alt J35XS shot down I simply can't force myself to climb in a Draken.
Defyn, where can i buy the paid actors from this vid?
This thing also has Irist so makes the stealth sneaky playstyle work well
Honestly it was never unflyable for me, I have found it quite fun no matter what has been happening

I wanted to buy it today and theres a fresh vid😍
senior defyn, may you please play any of the f16a's. aim7s against the constant arh missiles is a struggle and i feel like every game is just dodging missiles till everyones dead
To be ohnest i love fighting these in sim just bc they dont have much flares
i flew the draken a little bit around half a year ago and i would usually destroy people in my games, then i played it a few weeks ago and i just got touched by everyone without any way to counter it, not sure how it fairs now but im not gonna play that thing again
J35a is okay besides the a10's, 9.7 draken with 4 br appropriate missiles. Could you cover the j-35a eventually?
Was hoping for someone putting something up about J35A as it was half price. Recently. No flares yet lower BR
9:08 this is how Defyn will loose NNN ngl

I wish they would actually do the calculations and fix the contrailing so it doesnt happen at around 18,000 feet always.

Please have a look at the Mig 23ml again if things have changed for it too.

You wasted your money mate
@@gevorgvanarmenie9788 probably
F
can we get another video on the bi-1 or the jasdf
I don’t even play this shit game anymore but Defyn still super entertaining
It's a good looking plane though. By the way whats the difference between this and the J37, I just kind of mix them up
I love using the IRST this draken gets to slave my missiles to.
I haven't played in ages so I don't know if it's still possible
It is
they need to tvh this thing all aspect missiles or better missiles tbh.
You can certainly get kills with it but its just lacking in nearly every aspect. When the only upside is being able to lose speed fast ... yeah kinda rough. Feels like playing a full uptier every match. Having to deal will full F4S and MiG23 teams is also not great.
It works, it shits SL and RP like a mad cow on laxatives. But the third party gets third partied gets third partied meta makes a fast grind feel like a slow one. Meh
Can you do an updated video on the F104 TAF?
This plane wasn’t overperforming at 10.7.
Gaijin just nerfing stuff because reasons
AlbanianRozzer is a quality name
honestly gajjin should give it more countermeasures
Drop its br or some better missiles options, apparent the used the rb27 missile
this thing once to be the best premium imo it has 6 ir missiles and one of the best airframe at 10.7 and then gaijin decided to fuck it up
Talisman on the JA37C is an infinitely better choice.
Gotta get there first tho
limdurg 🎉🎉🎉 mention whoe
I guess choosing canard over this was a good idea
Hey, is the f20a worth to buy, i already have the f4s buti really dont like it, but i want to grind the american tree...
I dont think it's worth full price regardless but especially if you already have the f4s
It is more fun but it's essentially just a worse f16
I didn't get this cuz it doesn't have any CAS loadout. For Ground RB I'd have to use it for hunting down heli's and air spawn camp. meh
9:08 that sounds...... kinda wrong XD

Day 1 of asking defyn to rank all the nations in war thunder
Wait you can turn your IR seeker on and off? Like at 1:50? Is there just a keybind for it or sm?
Same as lock for me. Press 2x the on and for me its off.
Weapon lock (air-to-air) is the bind to unlock the seeker or turn it off
This plane should be 10.3/10
10.7 is fine. Its has 6 missels.
All they need to do is give it better missles and the rest is mainly skill other than the flight model getting railed
J35A next?
Why don't you use the IRST on this jet?
can you play the f58 hunter please?
1v1 when
😅
It's basically a slightly worse, less fun, version of the J7-E at everything. Clearly not worth the Premium status IMHO
J35XS ❌
JESUS✔
When updated Mig 23 video?
Can you do F4E?
It needs its historical Radar missile. But gaijin refuses to put the american falcon missile in the game for some reason.
